[Serious] What's the worst emotional pain you had to endure?

In December of 2016, one week before christmas, my partner of 8 years sat me down and told me she wanted to break up. She no longer wanted to live with me, she'd outgrown me and she was tired of waiting for me to finish school so that she could go and get started on her Masters degree. A day later my supervisor called to tell me that because of an accounting error, HR was insisting that I don't return (I was a paid intern). Even though it was realized that the error had nothing to do with me, in the time that they were discussing my return a new President was appointed to the company and those discussions got back-burnered.

In those two days I lost my partnership with a woman who I loved more truly than ever before, my job, my ability to stay in school, my home, my brothers turned their backs on me when I told them what I was facing, I moved into a place that I couldn't afford in a horrible neighborhood which I'm now being evicted from. My mouth is in constant throbbing pain from the root canals I obviously need. I got a job offer that was supposed to last for years, it was cancelled after two weeks of employment and I am so profoundly lonely that it physically hurts. I have friends, and I've reached out somewhat, but my partner was my best friend, and even though I don't mourn the relationship very much anymore, I mourn the loss of her friendship every single moment of every single day.
